Why Understanding the Key Technologies is Vital for Your Product’s Success
Intro
As a customer, there’s nothing more frustrating than using a product that doesn’t work as it should. Whether it’s a slow-loading website or a glitchy app, these issues can impact our experience and leave us feeling dissatisfied. It’s easy to blame the product developers for these problems, but the truth is,
the root cause often lies in a lack of understanding to key technologies.
Understanding the Key Tech before Kickstart
When a product is being developed, it’s important that the customers and developers take the time to understand the key technologies that will be used. This means not only knowing how the technology works, but also understanding its limitations and potential issues. By taking the time to understand these technologies, developers can make informed decisions about how they will be used in the product and avoid potential pitfalls.
But understanding is only half the battle. Customers & Developers also need to listen to the technology as it’s being used in the product. This means being open to feedback from users and constantly monitoring the product’s performance. By listening to the technology, developers can identify and address any issues as they arise, ensuring that the product is working as it should.
The benefits of understanding and listening to key technologies go beyond just a better product experience for customers. It can also lead to cost savings for the company. By identifying potential issues early on in the development process, developers can avoid costly rework later on. Additionally, by listening to customer feedback and monitoring the product’s performance, developers can prioritize their efforts and focus on the areas that will have the biggest impact on customer satisfaction.
Real-life Story
Saying that you want an app like Grab or Shopee and having developers simply copy the features isn’t going to help your business succeed. It’s like hiring a group of builders and expecting them to construct a skyscraper similar to the KLCC twin towers.
Instead of rushing to build a Grab & Shopee clone, try to start with a Q&A session about the basic like purpose & value, business model, marketing strategy, SWOT and features analysis before kickstart.
Launching the product faster does not imply that the company will generate revenue sooner. It is far more important to get the fundamentals right. People frequently confuse that with agile.
Conclusion
So, as a customer, it’s important to demand that the products you use are developed with an understanding to key technologies. Don’t settle for a subpar experience. And as a company, it’s vital to prioritize these practices in your product development process. Your customers will thank you for it, and your bottom line will benefit as well.
